Siheyuan: Start with a Truck Driver

Chapter 1174 Zhong Yuemin is out
The third uncle snorted coldly and raised his voice, "Hmph, don't you understand? You are lazy and gluttonous all day long, and you don't do any housework. You rely on Qin Huairu's salary to support the whole family. Look at you, what else can you do besides throwing tantrums and cursing? How can Section Chief Chen be interested in someone like you? Don't dream!"

When Jia Zhang heard the words "gluttonous and lazy", she jumped up like a cat whose tail was stepped on. Her face turned red, and she pointed at the third uncle and started to curse: "Yan Bugui, you old man, what nonsense are you talking about here? I am gluttonous and lazy? I have worked so hard for this family, and you know nothing about it! You are just making up stories about people, I will tear your mouth apart!"

The third uncle was also angry after being scolded by Jia Zhang. He took a few steps back to avoid Jia Zhang's waving arms and said, "Jia Zhang, you still dare to scold me? Which of my words is not true? Think about it yourself. You usually eat and sleep. When have you ever worked seriously? Who in this compound doesn't know what kind of person you are?"

Jia Zhang was so angry that she was shaking all over. She cursed and rushed towards the third uncle: "Yan Bugui, you are deliberately making things difficult for me today. I tell you, don't think I'm easy to bully. I'm going to fight you!"

Seeing this, some of the neighbors rushed forward to hold Jia Zhang, fearing that she would really hurt the third uncle; others whispered to the side:

"This Jia Zhang is really something. What the Third Master said is true. She is really lazy."

"That's right, you still want to climb up the social ladder, but you don't even consider your own conditions."

Jia Zhang's eyes were red with anger, like a lantern on fire. She continued to yell at the third uncle in a hoarse voice: "Yan Bugui, you old man, how dare you frame me! I have been doing my duty in this compound. When did I become lazy and idle? You are deliberately trying to discredit me. Do you think I am easy to bully?"

As she spoke, she started to make a scene in the courtyard. Her voice was so sharp that it echoed in the yard: "Everyone, come and judge for yourself! Yan Bugui slandered me for no reason and threw dirty water on me. I feel so wronged! He must compensate me for my mental damages. He can't just let it go like this!"

Her noise quickly attracted the second aunt and Sha Zhu. The second aunt came over in a hurry with a basket in her hand, while Sha Zhu came over slowly with a cigarette in his mouth, both wanting to see what was going on.

When Jia Zhang saw them coming, she felt like she had found a savior. She immediately ran over, grabbed Second Aunt's arm, and cried, "Second Aunt, you have to help me! Yan Bugui is such a bully. He said I was lazy and gluttonous, and he also slandered me. I feel so bad. Ask him to compensate me for my mental damages!"

When the second aunt heard this, she looked at Jia Zhang, then looked at the helpless Third Uncle standing by, and couldn't help but said with a smile: "Jia Zhang, you are a bit too much. Although what the Third Uncle said was a bit direct, everyone in our compound knows what kind of person you are on a daily basis. If you want mental damages, you have to have a reason, right?"

Sha Zhu also joined in the fun. He blew out a puff of smoke and said with a smile, "Aunt Jia, what's wrong with you? Uncle San just told the truth. Don't make a fuss about it. You're asking for mental damages. You're really funny."

When Jia Zhang heard what they said, she was so angry that her face turned blue. She let go of Second Aunt's arm, turned around and pointed at Sha Zhu and cursed: "Sha Zhu, you have no conscience, and you are also here to make sarcastic remarks! Why am I so lazy? How much I have paid for this family, you have no idea!"

Sha Zhu didn't take it seriously and continued to smile and said, "Aunt Jia, what have you given? You just sit at home all day and rely on Qin Huairu to make money to support the family. Do you really think that no one can see anything?"

Jia Zhang was so angry that she was shaking all over. She wanted to rush over to Sha Zhu to argue, but the second aunt quickly held her back and persuaded her, "Jia Zhang, please stop making a fuss. If this matter gets out of hand, it will not be good for anyone. Just calm down."

But Jia Zhang was not willing to listen. She continued to cry and make a scene in the courtyard, insisting that the Third Uncle give her an explanation and compensate her for her mental damages.
The third uncle was also very annoyed by Jia Zhang's tossing and turning. He frowned and warned Jia Zhang with a serious face: "Jia Zhang, I'm telling you, if you continue to make trouble in the courtyard like this, I will not be polite. I will go and invite Wang Weidong to come and see if your behavior is right or wrong!"

When Jia Zhang heard the three words "Wang Weidong", she froze there as if she was cast into a spell. She knew very well that she had been punished to clean the toilet because of a conflict with Wang Weidong before. It was a miserable experience. She didn't want to provoke that evil star again.

A trace of panic flashed across her eyes, but she still stiffened her neck and said a few harsh words unwillingly: "Yan Bugui, don't think I'm afraid of you just because you use Wang Weidong to scare me. Humph, this matter is not over today, just wait, sooner or later I will make you pay!"

But even though she said that, Jia Zhang had already stepped back a few steps unconsciously. She secretly glanced at the Third Master, and seeing that he looked firm and didn't seem to be trying to scare her, she became even more scared.

Therefore, Jia Zhang didn't bother to continue asking for mental damage compensation. She turned around and ran back to her home in shame. Her back looked a little embarrassed. She kept looking back while running, fearing that the third uncle would really go and invite Wang Weidong.

The neighbors around couldn't help laughing when they saw Jia Zhang's escape.

The second aunt smiled and said, "This Jia Zhang is only good at talking. As soon as she heard Wang Weidong's name, she immediately became timid, haha."

Sha Zhu also laughed and said, "That's right, she only bullies us old neighbors. If she really meets a powerful person, her true colors will be revealed."

The third uncle looked at the direction where Jia Zhang slipped away, shook his head helplessly, and muttered: "Humph, I knew she was a bully who only feared the strong and bullied the weak. I have to scare her."

...

Yan Jiecheng was previously very worried because of his injury, fearing that he would become disabled, which would make his life difficult. However, after a period of careful recuperation, he was pleasantly surprised to find that his leg had recovered very well, and he was not disabled as he had worried before. This made Yan Jiecheng very happy, and a big stone in his heart finally fell to the ground.

What made him even more excited was that during this period, Zhong Yuemin, who had always made him nervous, had not come to trouble him once. You know, Zhong Yuemin had made him worried because of some things before, and every time he saw Zhong Yuemin, his heart was pounding. Now that he was fine, his leg was healed, and Zhong Yuemin didn't come to trouble him, Yan Jiecheng returned to his previous state, with nothing to do all day, and he could go to the park to play leisurely like before. He strolled around the park, looked around, chatted and joked with those familiar friends, as if the previous injuries and scares were far away from him, and he lived a carefree and comfortable life again.

Yan Jiecheng was sitting on a bench in the park, playing cards with a group of hooligans, looking very proud, and was very pleased with his carefree life. Little did he know that Zhong Yuemin had just walked out of the dark and damp detention room of the Lanhua Automobile Factory.

Zhong Yuemin was in a state of disgrace. His handsome face was covered with bruises, and there was dried blood at the corners of his mouth. His clothes were tattered, as if he had suffered a lot of torture in the detention room. His eyes showed fatigue and unwillingness, but more of a deep helplessness. In that small detention room, he experienced loneliness, fear and pain. Those long hours seemed to crush his pride bit by bit.

Liu Changyi stood in front of him and warned him seriously that this was no longer a place where he could act recklessly. Zhong Yuemin gritted his teeth, endured the pain in his body, and promised Liu Changyi: "I will never make trouble again." His voice was a little hoarse, and every word seemed to have exhausted all his strength. This was the most humble he had ever been, and for the sake of freedom, he had to swallow this breath.

Outside the detention room, Zheng Tong and Zhang Haiyang were waiting anxiously. As soon as they saw Zhong Yuemin coming out, they hurried to greet him. Zheng Tong supported Zhong Yuemin with a worried look on his face. Seeing his miserable appearance, his eyes were red: "Yuemin, you have suffered." Zhang Haiyang was furious: "They are too much. How could they make you like this!" Zhong Yuemin forced a smile and patted the two on the shoulders: "It's okay, let's leave here first."

The three of them walked into the familiar tavern, which was filled with the smell of alcohol and cigarettes. Zheng Tong and Zhang Haiyang took Zhong Yuemin to a corner and sat down, ordering some food and drinks to welcome Zhong Yuemin.

After three rounds of drinking, Zheng Tong put down his glass, looked at Zhong Yuemin with a puzzled look on his face, and asked, "Yuemin, what happened to you this time? How did you get caught in the detention room of the Lanhua Automobile Factory?"

Zhang Haiyang also echoed, "Yeah, brother, we are all worried to death. You are not the kind of person who will suffer any loss. What kind of trouble have you gotten into this time?"

When Zhong Yuemin heard this, a flash of anger flashed across his eyes. He slammed the table so hard that the wine glass shook. "Humph, it's still that Wang Weidong, he's a piece of shit!" Zhong Yuemin said angrily, "I didn't want to argue with him, but that guy insisted on showing off in front of me and didn't give me any face at all."

Zheng Tong frowned and asked in confusion, "Yuemin, I remember you had already hired someone to deal with Wang Weidong. Why is there no movement yet? This shouldn't happen."

Zhong Yuemin was stunned when he heard this, and it was as if a flash of lightning flashed through his mind. He slapped his thigh and said with gritted teeth: "Oh no, I asked Yan Jiecheng to do this, but there has been no news for so long. Damn it, could this guy have betrayed me?"

Zhong Yuemin became angrier and angrier as he thought about it. Veins popped out on his forehead and his eyes were filled with rage. "I was so blind to believe that bastard. While I was suffering in there, he was enjoying himself outside. He might have forgotten everything about me and even colluded with Wang Weidong."

Zhang Haiyang was also furious: "If Yan Jiecheng really dares to betray you, we must not let him go. This kind of traitor must pay the price."

Zhong Yuemin picked up the wine glass, drank it all, and then threw it to the ground fiercely: "If I knew that he really betrayed me, I would skin him alive! I, Zhong Yuemin, have been very kind to him, but he dared to stab me in the back. I will never let him off easily."

Zheng Tong quickly advised, "Yuemin, don't be impulsive. We need to clarify the situation first. There might be some misunderstanding. If we wrongly accuse him, we will no longer be brothers."

Zhong Yuemin took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down: "Humph, I hope there is some misunderstanding. If he dares to play tricks on me, I will never let him go."

After a few drinks, the three of them were a little tipsy, their eyes began to blur, but the resentment in their hearts did not diminish at all. Zhang Haiyang's face flushed, he swayed his body, and said to Zhong Yuemin in a drunken voice: "Yuemin, we can't just let this go. Let's go and find Yan Jiecheng to ask him clearly. If he really dares to betray you, we can't let him off."

Zhong Yuemin's eyes flashed with determination. He drank the wine in the glass and slammed the glass heavily on the table: "Let's go! We have to figure this out today."

Although Zheng Tong was a little drunk, he still retained a trace of sobriety. He advised: "We have all drunk. If we go to him now, it will be bad if we get impulsive."

Zhang Haiyang pulled Zheng Tong over and said, "It has come to this. What are you still afraid of? We must have an explanation today."

So, the three of them supported each other and staggered towards the park.

At this time in the park, Yan Jiecheng was sitting at the poker table, his face livid. He had just lost fifty cents, which was not a small amount for him. He was already very distressed, and he felt that the gangster on the other side had cheated him and that was why he lost the money.

Yan Jiecheng stood up suddenly, pointed at the gangster's nose and cursed: "You little bastard, how dare you cheat in front of me! Don't think I can't see that your little tricks can fool others, but not me."

The little thug was no pushover either. He stiffened his neck and retorted, "Yan Jiecheng, please stop spitting blood at me. If I lose, I lose. Don't make excuses here."

Upon hearing this, Yan Jiecheng became even angrier. He rolled up his sleeves and prepared to rush forward: "You dare to talk back? If I don't teach you a lesson today, you don't know how many eyes the Horse King has." Seeing this, the people around them some started to make a fuss while others hurried over to separate them. The scene was in chaos.

Just as Yan Jiecheng was about to rush towards the gangster, a strong hand suddenly grabbed his collar from behind.
